Photoshop print dialog

Is there any way to get an event before the print dialog opens in Photoshop?
thx
AC

I'm not sure. many thing can go wrong.
First be sure your OS has all updates.
If you have a Mac, Repair permissions using the Disk Utility
Check with your Printer manufacturer for the latest drivers.
Check that Photoshop is fully updated. Some of these updates fix Print bugs.
One way Print issues have been fixed in Photoshop is to reset Preferences.
Hold down Ctrl-alt-shif or cmd-opt-shift, start Photoshop and answer "Yes" to delete the settings file.

CS6 Photoshop Print Settings- Problem w/1/2" borders

I have started to have probelms with the printing pictures using the CS6 Print Settings box.
After I have selected all the appropriate Printer setups and set the Print size to 8.5x11 both in Printer Setting and in the CS6Scaled Print Size box I get the below Print Preview.
Both when I manually enter Scale,H&W and when I check the "Scale to fit Media Box".
It leaves the top and bottom with a 1/2" white border at top/bottom as seen below.
Any advice would be welcome.
Dan

There may be a interaction between your Printer Driver Settings and your Photoshop Print settings. May depend on your OS and Printer Drivers. I'm on a Windows 7 PC with Epson 4800 Printer. I opened a new black document set to be 8.5" by 11" at 300 DPI. I did some screen captures of Photoshop Print Dialog where I used the Printer setting button to set different printer setting so you can see the effect they have on Photoshop's Print Dialog. I have Photoshop manager the colors and turn off the printer color management. So basically all I use the printer setting for it to turn off color management and to set Paper options.
Capture 1 Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Portrait Standard Print Area
Capture 2 Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Portrait Maximum Print Area
Capture 3 Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Portrait Borderless option note the paper in Photoshop's print dialog in no longer 8.5" x 11"
Capture 4 RollPaper Paper Sized define 8.51" x 11.1" Printer Borderless option With this paper size set in the printer Photoshop's print dialog shoes 8.5" x 11"
One more capture with Paper Tray 8.5" x 11" Paper Print area maximum not borderless with printer scaling the image to 100% of 8.5" x 11" in printer setting note this look like borderless option with roll paper set to 8.51" x 11.1"
As you see the Photoshop Dialog changes after the Printer setting are changed using the printer setting buttons.
However your screen capture look more like a mismatch of Aspect Ratios. The print dialog shows portrait paper and your image windows shows a almost square aspect ratio the aspect ratio difference between your image and your paper is causing your white boarders. Your image is more square then portrait. So when its width is scaled to 8.5" wide some 229% the same percentage of the height does not reach 11". Aspect Ratio you must not forget about you Images Aspect ratio and your paper aspect ration you do not want to distort you image to fill the paper so crop you image to your Paper aspect ratio if you want a boarderless print.

Photoshop Print Module Prints the Previous Number of prints instead of current selection Number

Does anyone have this problem?
Is there a fix?
Win XP64
PS CS5 v. 12.0.4 x32

It was reported a lot right after Photoshop CS5 was released.
Apparently it's really rooted in problems in the printer drivers. You might check to see if you can get a newer driver for your particular printer. Your workaround is to make your settings changes in the Photoshop Print dialog then go through the Print Settings button and press [OK]. This has the effect of getting the Print dialog settings to stick this time around.
On another subject: For what it's worth XP x64 isn't officially supported by Adobe. If you have a system that can run XP x64, why not upgrade it to Windows 7?

Color settings for Photoshop prints

Not sure if anyone can help - I'm still working with CS2 but perhaps my problem has a simple answer.
I did a lot of printing several years ago but had to leave it behind for a period. I'm trying to get bak into it but i'm having trouble with my color settings. My prints are coming out with rather garish or exagerated. My brain is somewhat disconnected of what I need to be paying attenion to. Anybody with advice on where to start again?

Hi Petyer-2, welcome to the forum.
Chances are it's one or more color-management issues (having to do with profiles, monitor setup, etc.)
Are you printing yourself or sending the images out?
If the former, what color-management settings are you choosing in the Photoshop Print dialog?
If the latter, what color profile are you saving the images in that you're sending out for printing? What does the lab want?
Is your monitor calibrated and profiled? What profile is associated with the monitor?
Feel free to put a representative image up here if you'd like a judgment on whether the image itself is garish/exaggerated.

How to set print dialog box to sync with applications

Dear all
I am using different applications, such as photoshop, lightroom, etc. All these applications have their propper print dialog box with enhanced settings.
BUT
after hitting the print button, my computer takes me always to the mac print dialog box, where again I can set different things: I can set paper quality, paper format, the colors...
to me it seems that the settings I have chosen in the application print dialog box are getting erased by this second set of (OS X) print-settings.
WHY DO I NEED TO GO THROUGH TWO PRINT DIALOG BOXES?
Can I omit the OS X print dialog?
Or am I missing something?
many thanks for your help,
Hynek

Thank you for this reply.
I will work around it with presets.
but just to understand this: *which dialog box is the one setting the printer* (when for example using photoshop)? is it the first dialog box, i.e. photoshop print dialog box - or is it the osX print dialog box?
if it is the second, I can skip the photoshop-one... ?
or do I need to experiment with a combination of both?
greetings,
Hynek
p.s. I know, it is a rather late reply. But we became parents 7 months ago, and time at the moment just flies by...

Scripting Print Dialog and Epson Print Dialog - Consultant Required

I have a project I would like to pay a Scripting Consultant to develop.
The script should run on Photoshop CS 3 , Mac OS Leopard 10.5.6,
I would like the script to be preferrably in Applescript to link with the Mac OS, but it can be Javascript
Functionality
1. The script should script the settings within the Photoshop print dialog box such as the colour profile
and colour management options
2. I would also like the script to control the Epson Print Settings in the Epson print dialog
boxes such as the Page Size/Set Up and Printer settings such as paper type= Epson Premium Glossy.
3. Finally I would like the script to be triggered via a button/palette which floats in Photoshop, so immediately we want to print
a design to a particular Epson printer (we have 4 different Epson printers ) we can click that button and it will
send the print to that printer with the correct profile, media settings, page set up etc
Notes
I have been told that "Configurator" made be the best application to create these printer buttons.
I have also been told that it may be possible to script the Epson Dialog using information from the Script Listener
As you can tell I am not a scripter but have a clear idea of what is required and am happy to pay for the experitise required here.
If you want to email directly please do so -
[email protected]
Thanks very much
Josh

I have been told that "Configurator" made be the best application to create these printer buttons.
But Configurator is for CS4.
I’m not sure the print-dialog can be Scripted the way You want it; at the company where I work we use a Server-Hotfolder-setup which makes such things easier, as one can simply save separated copies into the respective Folders.
You could also post on http://www.ps-scripts.com/

Photoshop CS5 crashes when selecting print settings in print dialog box

I work on a Mac Pro desktop with OS 10.6.4. Photoshop CS5 crashes every time I try to select "print settings" in the print dialog box. I work in a large office and our networked color printer is a Konica Minolta bizhub C451. In fact, if I hit "print" it will crash whether or not I hit "print settings" first. In CS4, there was a separate menu item that allowed you to change printer settings before going into the print dialog box. That choice is gone now, you have to select it through the print dialog box.
This is the only way I can print out color proofs for my clients. Unfortunately, I do not have administrator rights to any printer (our office has about 100 people, only IT staff can fiddle with that). What can I do to get this solved?

I think I have fixed it, though I'm not sure why this worked.
System Preferences>Print & Fax. Selected the Konica Minolta printer (the B/W printer was working fine). Changed the name. Still didn't fix it. Went back selected my newly named Konica Minolta then "Open Print Queue" (like Dave said)>print settings. Change the driver to "Generic Postscript printer." I could print, but only on letter-size paper, no other options available (need tabloid). Went back to system preferences>print & fax>Konica Minolta2>open print queue>drivers then I reselected the updated printer drivers--the same one that hasn't been working.
Now, it works.
Thanks all for the helpful advice!

Printer dialog box does not appear in Photoshop CS.5

I use Photoshop CS.5.1 with a Macbook 2013 using version 10.9.5. The printer works perfectly with all other applications but in Photoshop no printer dialog box comes up and the print job does not appear in the printers queue. Anyone the same issues?

First, try nuking (deleting them and letting the application create new ones) your Photoshop preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Photoshop cc print dialog box image dark

I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mt. Lion with PS CC, an Eizo monitor, printing with an Epson 3880, calibrated and profiled with a ColorMunki. When I preview an image to print, the image is darker in preview, and the color is much different than the actual image. When I print with the proper paper profile, (photoshop manages color and the space is Adobe 1998) it prints looking like the preview image rather tha the one on the monitor. I also run Snow Leopard on a partition with CS6, and the above does not happen, everything works fine. A photog friend of mine with a similar setup is experiencing the same problem since upgrading to Mt. Loin. Another graphic designer friend is running Mavericks and is has the same problem. I have another photog friend in Nashville who is having THE SAME PROBLEM!! Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard so I can still print, which I do on almost a daily basis. What broke what? Is it a bug with PS CC, or did something in MT. Lion break? This is very frustrating for all of us and I find it totally unacceptable.
If anyone has a clue and can help, we would be eternally greatfull.
Thanks,
Greg Nikas

Thanks for the tip on inserting photos. I'm new here, won't post a link in the future.
I'll try to simplify my issue;
1. In CS6 in Snow Leopard, the original/source image looks just like the image in the print dialog box and prints beautifuly. See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
2. In PS CC and CS6 in Mt. Lion, the original/source image is redder and more saturated than the image in the print dialog box, but the print looks like the the image in the print dialog box. The image in the print dialog box looks like the original/source image in CS6 in Snow Leopard! See images below.
Original image.
Print dialog box image.
3. The issue seems to be with how the original/source image in PS CC and CS6 renders in Mt. Lion. As I said in my intial post, I have three friends who are having the same problem and none of us can figure it out, and I'm the only one who kept Snow Leopard.
4. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and Mt. Lion on a partitioned disk.
5. I have an Eizo CG222W monitor, which is calibrated with an x-rite ColorMunki. Each OS has it's own calibration profile.
6. I print on an Epson 3880 using the latest driver, and all papers have thier own profile and look the same when printed from either OS.
7. All settings in PS CC, CS6 and Bridge are identical in both OS's.
I hope this is stated more clearly.

Unforunatelly was not come any dialog form.
After this try are much menues deactivated.

What can i doing to let the Photoshop print?
Best regards,
Johannes Wendtland.

Hi,
You can also use a FTP client (or your browser if it supports FTP) and download from the Adobe FTP server (ftp.adobe.com). The files are in /pub/adobe/cs6/downloads :
Windows (launch the .exe which will open the 7z file):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.7z
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.exe
Mac :
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.dmg
Previous versions are also available in /pub/adobe/photoshop/win and /pub/adobe/photoshop/mac
These folders are public so you don't need any identifier to connect.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print. Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print. This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be. I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes. The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

Saving Photoshop CS5 Print dialog box presets or defaults?

This question was asked in 2008 for PS CS3 with no answer, so I will ask it again...
OS 10.6.4
Using Canon iPF 5100 and 6100 printers
CS 5 Photoshop
Is there a way to set a preset in the PS Print dialog window for 'Photoshop manages color' and the ICC profile so that I do not have to reset them every time I print?
Also, where does PS pull the information for the printers pop-up menu near the top of the Print dialog box? Is this a preset or is it just pulling these printer names from the OS? I ask this because when I switch between one of the iPF printers, the Print > Color Management section defaults back to 'Printer Manages Color' and greys out the profile pop-up menu.
Thanks.

No, no presets but you can record the settings in an action. The action can record printer, printer settings and color management settings.

Photoshop CS5 Mac Printer dialog

I cannot get a printer dialog window for any printer that I have tried ( Epson or HP). When I choose "Print" or type Command P the Photoshoop printing dialog comes up (choice of printer, page setup, Color Management etc), but on clicking Print not printer dialog appears, and a print is made. I am unable to choose any of the options normally available for the printer. I am working on a 27" iMac, and I still have CS4 installed. (Thank goodness! I can use it to print in contrast to CS5.)
Any suggestions?

Laurie
I'm not sure that I understand the source of your problem with the Epson profiles, but I don't think that it has anything to do with having both versions, CS4 and CS5 being installed on the same machine. Having them both running at the same time might cause some problem both I don't know what that would be.
What is always more perplexing is the location of the Epson profiles. The Epson driver software, for whatever the reason, installs the standard profiles for its papers in a "package" located in Hard Disk Name > Library> Printers > Epson > Inkjet Printer>ICC Profiles> Pro38.profiles. You cannot discover this by doing a search of your Mac. Once you have navigated to the "package" however, you can view its contents by holding down the Control key, clicking on the package and choosing Show Package Contents. After then navigating down to Resources you will discover the 3800 profiles all named Pro38...
Why Epson chooses to hide its profiles in a "bushel basket" I have no idea but, the profiles should be discoverable by CS4 or CS5 or any other program that uses ColorSync. I suppose that you could do the following safe experiment if you do find the package and the contents are as described. Make an alias of the package (or one of each of the individual profiles) and put the alias(es) in your usual ColorSync folder. That ought to work and reveal to you the profiles that you want to use in CS5. It should also prevent any interference with whatever peculiar scheme Epson has for hiding the profiles in the first place.
And just to make matters a little more confusing (!) if you download and install any of Epson's custom profiles these will go into a folder named Epson Stylus Pro 3800 and this folder in turn will be found in Hard Disk Name > Library > Color Sync > Profiles.
I hope that is helpful.
Finally, the problem I had was simply that I did not realize that Adobe had changed the printing routine but incorporating access to the printer dialog into its own Print dialog window. where it used to say Page Setup it now says Print Settings{!}, and in the Print Settings dialog it now says Save rather than Print. So the final say on actually getting the printer to print is in the CS5 printing dialog window - not in the Epson printer dialog. And why did they do that? Well .. if you're going to sell an upgrade you have to make some changes, and if you can do it - why not?

Photoshop CS5 print dialog

I am trying to print with my new 27" imac i7 (G5 forced upgrade), Snow Leopard, Epson 4000, Epson Driver 8.19 and Pshop CS5 and having a weird thing occur. In the past (CS4 on G5) I have always gone into the Pshop print dialog box and shrunk the image and repositioned it to run sequential test, same sheet before I make the larger print version. The old G5 would send the image to the printer the epson 4000 would load the paper move it the the correct location print the small area and spit out the paper. Now I send, it the printer loads the paper and as if you are printing the whole sheet image the head moves the entire width and length of the sheet but only lays down ink to where I designated in the dialog box. So the test takes as long as a full size print. Any ideas whats up?
Thanks
Bob Barry

No, no presets but you can record the settings in an action. The action can record printer, printer settings and color management settings.

Adobe PS CS3 has major flaws in Print Dialog. Beware!

System Specs:
OSX Leopard 10.5.2
MacPro 3.2ghz with 32GB of ram 1.5GB Video
Epson 11880 Printer
Samsung XL20 LED monitors calibrated using EyeOne Pro 6500k 2.2 and 120c/d
I have been trying to build a custom profile for my new Epson 11880. However, my results have been unsuccessful. All my prints came out super dark. The color is all off except for the grey scale.
After talking to Epson for hours I found out that the new Beta driver for the printers have a problem, so rolled back to v3.89. This fixed all printer problems. So printer is fine now. This also applies to the Epson 3800.
Spoke to Apple about their color management and Leopard issues? No fault found on the OS.
Ran a test using preview, iPhoto, EyeOneMatch, Photoshop CS, and CS3. I couldn't find my CS2 disk so I didn't get a chance to test that. preview, iPhoto, CS, and EyeOneMatch all came out with same results when printing a 9.18 target without PCM. However, CS3 printed the image dark and off color with the exact same settings. Problem has been persistent and I would like to conclude that CS3 needs to fix this bug in their software. It is ridiculous to be printing using another software because CS3 can't do a simple task as print.

viewing conditions are fine.
I have the whole room outfitted with GTI D50 lights. What can I say I am anal. No matter where you stand the light will hit 5000k. I change the bulbs out every 1500 hours although they tell me I can wait until 2000 hours.
My monitor is also calibrated properly. I am using the Samsung XL20 and XL30 monitors, which surpass the Eizo or any other LCD's on the market. I've owned the Eizo, NEC, Artisan, and any other monitors you can name. I also made sure my Spectrometer is fine and it is.
When printing targets with the setting set to NO Color Management in Photoshop it should yield the same results as the other applications. The only thing you are technically utilizing then is the printer driver and dialog box. Yes the printer dialog is always same and set properly also. PCM is set to no color management. I've tested this with other applications and it is CS3 that is giving me all the problems.
