Photoshop refuses to see any printer

I am getting the following dialoge box when trying to print in PSCS4 to my Epson 3800, Vista 64. This is a new problem.
"Before you can perform printer-related tasks such a s page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."
I have installed and reinstalled the Epson twice now, I have tried printing to PDF as well as the generic Windows printer driver. PS is updated. I can print from Illustrator and Acrobat, as well as Office, ect. The problem is only PS.
I have Vista 64 and PS 64 on a laptop and I can print to the Epson just fine. What is going on with my tower?
update: even more curious is that I can create a new document and PS DOES see the printer just fine. Any other docs gives me the error.

Problem persists. ALL files that are older on this computer, jpeg or psd have this behavior. Taking one of these "old" files and renaming and resaving does not work. HOWEVER, I make a new file, or open a file I have never opened before (like a photo from my archive) does not exhibit this behavior. It it 100% consistent, that ANY Photoshop file or any derivitave of that file, PS4 will not see any printer. New creations have no problem. It is almost as if *every* work done in the last few months is somehow corrupted. I can print new files only. This is very odd behavior. Two computers, exact OS, same printer, one has problems with any old PS4 file, the other is fine.Other longtime graphics people in the office are also confounded by this issue. I simply cannot print PS4 files (PS, jpeg, resaved as tiff, pdf, whatever) created before last weekend. I can take them onto the laptop and they are fine. On the tower, I still get the first message that I don't have a printer installed.
I would rather not have to go through a full reinstall of Creative Suite. I don't have the disks handy (working way out of town) and this would really be a PITA. Right now, all my old files have to be handed to another person on a flash drive and printed. What on earth is wrong?

  • Ipad refuses to 'see' my printer

    I am not at all sure where my problem stems from. My ipad cannot 'see' my printer (and nor can my iphone), but I downloaded the HP printer App and that can find it no problem at all. My Airport Extreme appears to be set up and working properly so I'm a bit lost. Any suggestions??

    Hi Barbara, welcome to the Apple Discussions and Happy New Year.
    What HP printer model do you have? How are you trying to print, via AirPrint or through the router?
    If AirPrint, the AirPrint enabled printers are here:

  • Have Photoshop Elements 12, recently purchased Epson Workforce WF-7620 Printer/scanner , cannot import scanned pictures into Photoshop, does not see the Printer/scanner.

    How can I get my Photoshop Elements 12 to import scanned images from my Epson Workforce WF-7620 ?. The program does not recognise the Priner/scanner.
    Bruce

    Is it trying to get you to join photoshop.com? The easiest way around that is not to use the welcome screen. Go into the program files and make direct shortcuts for the organizer and/or editor and start PSE that way from now on. Photoshop.com is dead and gone so the welcome screen will hang up trying to connect to something that no longer exists.

  • Interface Builder refuses to see "@2x" image files

    I'm making some apps with support for all three major iOS platforms: iPhone&Co, iPhone4 and iPad. This support means, naturally, having larger-resolution images for the latter two platforms. Currently I'm making the apps universal, so the same app will run in all of them.
    Since most of the double-resolution images of the iPhone4 version of the app can be used as-is in the iPad version (only things like background images have to be made separately for all three types of platform due to differing screen resolutions; the rest can be done with simply laying out the elements appropriately in the iPad as compared to the iPhone4, using the same element images for both), it would be a huge waste of space to make separate images for the iPhone4 and the iPad, when these images would be completely identical. Thus it only makes sense to reuse the same "@2x" images of the iPhone4 on the iPad version of the app.
    This worked nicely for a while. However, at some point quite suddenly (I don't really know what happened), Interface Builder started to completely refuse to see any image files with a "@2x" in their name. It won't show them on the drop-down menu where you select an image (eg. for an UIImageView or UIButton), and if you write it manually, it will refuse to show it (only showing the question mark image symbolizing a missing image file). The image will show ok when running the app, but IB simply refuses to acknowledge the existence of such images. If I rename the image such that I remove the "@2x", then IB will accept it, but not if it has those characters.
    As said, IB did see the "@2x" images at some point, but for some reason now it doesn't. (This is a bit of a mystery because I don't remember this happening after any kind of SDK upgrade or anything.)
    This tells me that this is either 1) a bug in IB, or 2) intentional behavior, and the "@2x" images should not be "abused" in this way to create an iPad version of the app properly.
    If hypothesis 2 is correct, then what is the proper way of using the same images in both the iPhone4 and iPad versions of the app? Duplicating the image files would be an enormous waste of space (the apps are quite graphics-heavy).
    One "kludge" that comes to mind would be to create soft links for the images so that the iPad versions of the image files would just be soft links to the @2x iPhone4 images. However, I don't know if the bundling mechanism of the iPhone SDK supports soft links, or if it will simply make copies of the images (in which case each such image will end up being stored twice in the bundle).

    I guess I don't understand why you want a solution when you've found one already.
    Just use ".2x" or "-2x" or whatever.
    Report the bug, use your workaround and move on.

  • Satellite Pro L850-1P8 PSKG7E - Unable to see any BT devices

    Hi
    I have a Satellite Pro L850-1P8 PSKG7E- 00C002EN. I initially had a problem with the software recognizing the hardware. Resolved by re-installing the Atheros filter driver. Now everything say it is working and the latest drivers are installed.
    I have a phone, a Nexus 7, a car and PV array that all see each other using their BT and will pair.
    The PV array links to a PC based application via bluetooth which worked on a previous works Tosh Satellite Pro.
    The laptop refuses to see any of the devices despite everything saying it is working properly and all other devices being visible to each other.
    BT RFBUS Toshiba 8.0.2005.0
    BT RFCOMM Toshiba 8.0.1129.0
    BT RFHID Toshiba 8.0.830.0
    BT RFUSB Controller 14 Toshiba 8.0.2005.0
    As far as I can see there is no BT entry in the BIOS.
    I have tried the FN F8 in both states.
    Can anyone give me any guidance?

    When you want to use BT on your notebook it is important to enable BT module properly. I presume it works with FN+F8. When the BT is on BT manager should start and in the task bar you should see small blue BT symbol.
    When you enable BT does this manager start or not? Click on this symbol with right mouse button and choose option Add new connection. Scan the area and I hope your device should be found (enable visible modus).
    You are right about BIOS. There is nothing related to BT functionality.

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

  • Why are my PDF files so big when I open them or when I print them out? I only see and print half of the document, didn't have any problem on internet explorer

    I was trying to print something from the internet and when I did what came out was half of the document. What should have been printed in 1 sheet of paper was printed in 2 and it was only half of the document because the letters and images were too large.
    I noticed that when I saved the document from the Internet to my folder the document was in half. I tried to save it again but it didn't work. I tried to fix the printer to see if that was the reason but still I continued to see only half of the document. I tried printing again but still the same thing happened.
    I thought it was a problem with my printer but then I remembered that the same thing happened with other PDFs files. I then tried the same thing on Internet Explorer and when I saved the document I saved the whole document not only half of it and the letters and images where not large like when I used Mozilla. I was also able to print the whole document in 1 sheet of paper.
    I don't how to solve this problem, thank you for your help and attention

    Hi efacg,
    Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
    If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

  • Why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option now?

    Hi,
    why can't I save as my photoshop cs4 file to .png file? I don't see any option for saving .png in Save As diolog box now? It was working fine until yesterday. Neither I can open a .png file nor save my psd file to png file?
    Please help. I am using Microsoft Window XP Professional and Photoshop CS4.

    In Photoshop CS4, .png open/save support was provided by a plug-in.  It is possible the plug-in has been deleted or moved, or has become unavailable to Photoshop because of a change in file protections.
    Do you have the file PNG.8BI on your system.  It should be here on a 32 bit Windows system:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats\PNG.8BI

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

    I currently have Photoshop CS5 standard, and want to upgrade to CS5 Extended to get the 3D capabilities.  Is this possible, I don't see any CS5 upgrades available?  I tried to download a new trial version as well, but my current operating system will not support it, so I'd like to stick w/ a version of CS5 that will allow me to work in 3D.  What are my options?

  • I installed Prokit 7 upgrade and now I can't see any of my type 1 fonts when in Indesign or Photoshop

    I installed Prokit 7 upgrade today and now I can't see any of my type 1 fonts when in Indesign or Photoshop. Not sure if the upgrade did it, but it seemed to coincide with the problem. I am a graphic artist spend all day everyday using these programs, hardly ever have a font problem. Anyone have a similar problem?

    I reinstalled Prokit 7 upgrade and it did not fix the problem.
    I put my fonts in user/library/fonts, where I have always put them and when I am in any Creative suite app. the only fonts visible in the font list are open type and TT fonts. No type 1 fonts appear in the list even though I have them in the fonts folder. They do not appear in fontbook either.

  • Photoshop refusing to print 2 specific files.

    I'm using Photoshop CS4 and I have 2 files that refuse to print. Every time I try to print them I get the error "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." Photoshop WILL print other files or new files no problem but will always produce this error when I try to print these 2 files.
    It is not a problem with printer drivers, or a problem with which printer is set as default as evident but the fact that every other program on the computer can print just fine and photoshop itself has no problem printing other pictures.

    Copy/paste to a new file (probably stuck on print metadata for a printer not connected).
