Print Settings Media Type vs. Print Job Profile

I recently learned that Print Settings > Quality & Media > Media Type must match the Print Job > Color Management > Profile. I was close in the past but didn't realize it had to match exactly. When it did...perfect print.
However, the two lists do not match. For the paper I happen to be using tonight, I found they matched. But I have far more profiles in Print Job than in Media Type. Why? And how do I get them to match so when I do use a different paper not listed in media type I can get it to match?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'm using the latest Mac OS. Other is not an option. I just got off the phone with Epson, they said it depends on if I have the Photo or Matt black cartridge in. And if I'm using a non-Epson photo paper, either matt or glossy, I just need to select the Media Type that closely relates to my paper. In the end, the ICC profile will dictate. Apparently.

Print Settings/Media Type not showing papers

I've installed several paper profiles, and I have LR3 doing the color management with my specific profile. But when I go to Print Settings, the Media Type does not have the paper type I'm using. It only shows 4 basic photo papers.
Do I ignore Media Type if I'm using specific paper profiles?
If not, how do I update the list?

Are you tyring to write your photo files to a DVD ?
Or are you trying to print to a paper label on a DVD disc?
Also, I suggest that you describe the process that you are attempting (like which menu commands or buttons you used).

Print sharpening media type

Hi
Does anyone know what you should select for the media type under "Print Sharpening" when you are printing to semi gloss paper, should it be Glossy or Matt and what difference will it make?

Thanks Lee, I assumed it was but wanted to be certain.

Printer Settings dialog missing when printing to another Mac with Bonjour

I want Photoshop to manage my color settings rather than my Epson 4800 or Epson SPRX 580 printers, so in the print dialog box I select the "Printer Color Management" tab and set color adjustments to the OFF position. This works fine as long as the printer is connected directly to my MacBook or my MacBook Pro. But if I try to send a job on my MacBook Pro via bonjour to either of the printers when it is connected to my MacBook, the print dialog is missing the choices of "Printer Color Management", "Printer Settings", etc.
All that is available are things like "Layout, Cover Page, Scheduler, Summary." The "Printer Settings, Color Management" options only show up on either computer when connected directly to the printer.
Is there a way to get those other choices (Printer Settings, Color Management) when printing over a bonjour network?
I'm on Mac OS 10.5.6 on the MacBook Pro and Mac OS 10.4.10 on the MacBook. I have downloaded all the driver updates from Epson and deleted and added the printers again with the same result.

HP must have release a driver update because we no longer encounter the problem.

Print Settings tab in the Print module is missing? (Windows 7)

The "How To" books always refer you to the Print Settings tab in the print module, but there isn't one in my Lightroom? How do I get around this?

Not sure which "How to" books you're referring to so hard to answer this. Which specific settings are you wanting to change/control?
(..but if it's actual settings within the Printer's control software then it's accessed by clicking on the printer button at the bottom of the panel.)

Epson 1280 - can't select media type or print quality

I just went Mac and got the imac w/ OS 10.6
I downloaded the drivers for my Epson 1280 - I can't find a way to select my media type (photo paper, etc) - nor can I find how to change my print quality (high quality vs draft).
Has anyone figured this out?
betsy

Your browser/File/Page Setup
nor can I find how to change my print quality (high quality vs draft).
Not to sure where this setting is. Never seen it. Try your browser/File/Print/Printer - click on the far downward triangle. Any settings there you can play around with?

Can't recall printer settings dialog from PS Print dialog

I am looking for toubleshooting ideas for my problem - I would like to avoid reinstalling CS at this point.
Problem:
If I try to print to my remote Epson printer (3880 installed on another Windows 7 computer and accessed as shared printer) and if I click on the Settings button in PS CS4 Print dialog box, I got the following error: "Could not complete your request because an error occurred while printing"
What I have:
Two computers. One has Epson printer connected through USB, the other prints to it via network. Both are Windows 7 64 bit, latest drivers
What I found so far:
The printer works fine from LR3 and Illustrator CS 4, only Photoshop fails to print
Other printers, including network printers work fine from Photoshop
This started to happen after installing CS5 tryout, but I am not positive it this is the cause
The printing worked at some point
If I create PSD file with this Epson printer specified and open it on another computer with PS (which otherwise prints to this printer normally), I get the same error.
What I did so far:
Reinstalled the printer on the PS machine
Reset PS preferences file
Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't remember how I fixed the problem. I think there was some mixup because I used the printer as USB once and via network later. I don't use PS on that PC anymore, but I think I had to use the printer as USB to make it working. I also think the CS5 tryout caused some issues.
So you can try this:
- If you use it as networked, try installing the driver again as USB or vice versa
- If you use CS4 and have CS5 tryout, uninstall CS5
Not sure if it helps, but I don't have anything better, sorry.

Printer settings on a shared printer

I'm trying to print from my iMac (10.6) on a shared printer (Epson RX420) connected to my Cube (10.4). Everything works fine, except I can't access the printer settings in the print menu. So I can only print in standard quality.
What am I doing wrong?

At the risk of wasting more of your time, I'd like to back up a little.
I can't access the printer settings in the print menu.
Perhaps this is just a language issue, but could you explain what you mean by "the print menu"? When I invoke File -> Print for my Epson printer that is shared over the network, I see a somewhat large dialog box with fields starting with "Printer", "Presets", "Copies", etc. and then eventually one with the name of the application. If I click on the blue triangle to the right of the "Printer" item, the dialog box collapses to just "Printer" and "Presets". Do you see anything like that?
One other odd thought: Assuming it's compatible, do you have the same printer driver installed on all your Macs?

Graphics-heavy pdfs will not printer to any type of printer.

They send back an error message as displayed below or they do not prints. This happens in both Mavericks and Yosemite, for both Preview and Adobe Reader, our organization's primary pdf Readers. It only seems to apply to the .pdf or similar formats, as when a screenshot is taken of the individual pages, those items are able to print.

The current workaround is based on the notion that the printers are having trouble with pdfs, and not images
"It only seems to apply to the .pdf or similar formats, as when a screenshot is taken of the individual pages, those items are able to print."
Adobe Reader allows us to convert the pdf to print as an image format:
Open your pdf in Adobe Reader
File Print
Click Advanced, next to the printer name
In the Advanced Print Menu, check the box to Print as Image
Click Ok and then Print, the Document should print at this point

How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

Greetings,
I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer. The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc. The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
OpenPrinter(printername)
StartDocPrinter(...)
-----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
EndDocPrinter(...)
ClosePrinter()
I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
Is this possible with the Adobe SDK?
I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline. This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.
Thanks a lot,
Wayne

You cannot uninstall Kit Kat from your phone. BTW what kind of phone do you have??

Adjusting printer settings to disallow the printing of an additional page of "descriptive" informati

With each page I print on my HP Officejet Pro 8500, Series 909a, (whether email messages or selected page(s) of projects) an additional page prints giving this list of descriptive info: Filename, diretory, template, title, subject, author, keywords, comments, creation date, change number, etc., etc. The printer only recently began doing that without any adjustment on my part....that I am aware of, at least!

i don't see anything wrong with the code...
can u post your applet code? especially in implementation of print method from Printable?

Why does my Epson 2200/ Print: Media Type list only 4 of the media types?

For some reason my Epson 2200 when I'm trying to print a photo in Photoshop, and other programs, shows under Print/Presets/Print Settings/Media Type: Plain Paper, Enhanced Matte Paper, Velvet Fine Art Paper and Water Color-Radiant White.
What isn't shown is the rest of the paper media types of: Premium Glossy, Premium Luster, Premium Semi Gloss, Canvas-Luster and a whole host of variations in those types of media. In essence what isn't showing are most of the print profiles from Epson for the different types of paper.
I done everything that I can think of to correct the problem and nothing seems to work. Now it has progressed to the point I'm have the same problem with my Epson Stylus Photo R200.
Both Printers are on USB connections. I've tried deleting the printers from the Printer Setup Utility; running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions; trashing Epson Printer Utility; trashing the preferences from the Home folder; trashing the Epson folder from the HD/Library/Printers folder; and then reinstalling all of those trashed items and deleted items and running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions.
Nothing seems to work! I need help here ..... what am I doing wrong??

I figured it out myself and answered my own question. If you have matte black ink installed when you are trying to print on glossy, the paper type is limited to only that media which black matte ink is specified. You have to switch out the matte ink for photo black ink. Delete the printer from the Printer Setup Utility and reinstall the printer. Whereas with the Photo Black Ink you can print on all types of media.
Nothing like driving yourself crazy over a minor point that puts a cog in the wheels of progress. :O)

Missing print settings tab in lightroom

Anyone know how to get the print settings tab in lightroom? I have the page setup tab--but not the print settings tab.

I was watching Julianne Koss on AdobeTV talking about printing in Lightroom 5. The left bottom part of her screen has two “tabs”—one says “page set up” and one says print settings. On my screen I only have “page setup”. A great deal of her talk is about Print Settings—this is where you choose the printer, the presets, the copies, the pages, the print settings, media type, color, color settings, print quality---pretty much everything having to do with printing. I don’t have that tab…VERY frustrating!
Hers looks like the first attached photo (see tabs that say page setup and print settings)
Mine looks like the second attached photo (see only page setup tab)
Thank you for your help.
Take care,
Maren Aberle
