Printer profiles missing

Lightroom 1.4 (and 1.3.1), PC, XP Pro SP2. When in Print mode in Lightroom, I select Color Management/Profile/Other, it only shows me the profiles down as far as Harman - it will not show the profiles for Ilford, or Permajet or any of the others further down the alphabet.
I have tried changing the name of the Ilford profile to "Classic", reinstalled it, restarted Lightroom but still no show. i have rebooted the computer, checked that the profiles are in C:\Windows\System 32\Spool\Drivers\Color. I have uninstalled the profiles and reinstalled them.
This only applies to my desktop - the laptop is fine. The desktop Photoshop installation sees all the profiles; it is just Lightroom which will only show half of them.
Any suggestions as to how I can force Lightroom into showing ALL the profiles?

Hi John - you were right - the FAQs told me where to look, so I deleted the Preferences file (actually renamed it) and let it get on rebuilding. Apart from the irritating lectures on the parts of Lightroom (it had lost track of the fact that I didn't want to see that message) it made no difference to the lack of printer profiles. The list progresses through the Canon profiles, and down to Harman. It just doesn't go on to the rest of the list.
I know the rest of the list exists because CS3 can find all the profiles - just that LR 1.4 cannot

My Library folder on my User (Home) is missing I know it is somewhere as the printer profiles in it are present when i go to an application. I just updated to Lion. where can I find the folder?

I just updated to Lion. I cannot find my Library Folder in my User folder. I know the information is there as I can see printer profiles stored in there in an application, but I cannot find the folder. Could it have been moved during upgrade?

It is not missing, it is now hidden. In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.

Missing print profiles

I have a fresh win7 and adobe cc install. Within PS printing options, I am missing many print profiles I once had. I'm mainly concerned with Adobe1998 not being there to print from. Am I missing a setting?

1. If you right-click on the profiles in Explorer do you see the option to "install"? If so click it. If you see the option to uninstall, rather than install, you are ok on this point.
2. In LR's print module, when you click on the Profile option, did you click on Other, and are they displayed in the list when you do this? You will need to checkmark them if they are there. If they are not there, go on to #3.
3. Do the profiles have extensions of ICC or ICM? If they are ICC, try renaming them to change the extension to ICM and see if that helps.
4. If none of these suggestions works, maybe someone else can help.

ICC profiles missing in Print dialogue

Couldnt find anything on this matter. Ill keep it simpe:
Seems the print dialouge in PS CS6 isnt calling on the colorsync folder for ICC profiles.
However, soft proofing does call on these profiles. Any thoughts why I am not able to use ICC profiles in print mode?
Reference attached images.
Profiles loaded:
Profiled Not Loaded:

Chris,
Thanks for the input. In CS5, my soft proofing settings would typically
mirror my printer profiles. I would be able to load my profiles from the
print area in CS5 simply by placing them in the colorsync folder in my mac.
The files to be printed are an RGB file to be sent to an RGB printer (epson
9880). The issue is my paper profiles are not loading in the print dialoge.
Im curious to know if CS6 is calling on this folder or if the profiles need
to be loaded somewhere else.

Missing printing profiles

i have a dell xps system with Vista operating system and Lightroom V1.3.1.
Windows explorer list all my printer profiles however, in Lightroom under color management, profile, other, not all the profiles are shown. How do i get Lightroom to list all the profiles? i did notice that some files are .icc and some .icm???

That is a problem for which there have been no answers yet. There are a couple of threads on it already. My Other lists 4 out of about 75 printer paper profiles--none of the 4 are usable, representing printers/papers I no longer use--that all show up in all my other color managed applications.
Sooner or later someone may solve this--or Adobe may acknowledge it. In any case, I have long ago stopped attempting to use the Print modules--for this and several other reasons, the most important being no soft proofing. I hope you discover the answer.

Missing Printer Profiles in InDesign

I have just installed CS4 on my Macbook Pro/10.6.2 which had lots of printer profiles on it. When I try to print and go to the Color Management section of the print dialog box, the Printer Profile drop down is greyed out and inaccessible. No default option is shown in the drop down. In Photoshop's print dialog, I can see the printer profiles. So, I am confident they are installed correctly (and I have checked my Colorsync folders to confirm this).
What could be stopping InDesign from accessing them?
Thanks!

Thanks much for your help. But, I'm having no luck. I have tried the following:
1) Making an alias of /Library/ColorSync/Profiles and putting it into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/
2) Making an alias of every profile in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles and putting them into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/
3) Copying one profile into an empty /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/
After each effort, I would quit and restart InDesign. Each time, the drop down is greyed out and inaccessible with no option displayed.

CS5 print dialog missing Epson 7800 profiles

Is there a simple way to get my Epson printer profiles to load onto CS5. I'm normally quite good at solving these things by myself, but this case has me well stumped. Help anyone?

Again: in CS5, the profiles that the driver says belong to the selected printer will show up at the top of the menu. Any custom profiles you have built for that printer will also be in the menu, in the normal alphabetical list.
If there are no profiles at the top, that is because the driver hasn't identified any profiles as belonging to the chosen printer.
If there are no additional profiles listed, that is because there is a problem with how you installed them on the system.
We haven't seen any problems with this yet.

Mac: Elements 8 missing printer profiles

Hi guys, I tried printing an image using Elements 8 yesterday, having upgraded from 6 on my Mac. Strangely, it didn't bring up any of the manufacturer printer profiles, nor my custom made one, when I tried to print and select them under colour management.
Elements 6 would simply look to my ColorSync library to find profiles, what's 8 doing? How do I point it in the right direction?

Barbara. forgot to mention the reason that some people got better colours letting the printer manage the colour conversion was that ADOBE admitted to me in an email that they had a known problem with PSE6 on the MAC. Initially they said it happened to all printers as shown in quote 1. Later on. finally they said only Epson had the problem. Printing seemed to improve significantly for me when Converting from Tiger to Leopard.
Quote....1.
Dear Sir,
Here is the Feedback from my engineers::
Previous Research::
Apologies for the delay but I had to get some replacement inks for my printer as well as a time window to test this properly. I have now tested this with a Canon i990 and Ilford Smooth pearl paper using both Photoshop Elements 4 & 6 and the latest printer driver on a PowerMac G5 running OS X 10.4.11. I have a custom profile for the paper and ink combination and use this throughout. I used the ole no moire test file which includes a good full colour palette in the image as well as 10 - 100% ink densities for CMYK inks.
I can now confirm your observations and can clearly see that when Photoshop Elements manages the colours under 4, the reproduction is fairly close to the regional you see onscreen. Letting the printer manage colours under Photoshop Elements 4 gave terrible results - nothing like the original with a strong orange cast in the colours.
In Photoshop Elements 6, letting the printer manage the colors, a fairly accurate result was obtained, potentially better than the Photoshop Elements 4 when it managed the colours. Let Photoshop Elements 6 manage the colours and the results are as the customer described, far more saturated. In fact, the 80-100% square for both Cyan and Magenta colours were the same in intensity which would explain the oversaturated look.
Concluding Research::
I have now heard back from engineering and the. It would appear that this is an issue with he printer driver not doing what it claims to be doing - even though printer driver claims colour management is turned off, it is still colour managing the print. The result is that if you set Photoshop Elements to colour manage, it will be double colour managed. The Photoshop Elements team are aware of this issue and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly.
In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management. Using this workflow, I got some good colour matching from Photoshop Elements, although it is not identical to the results obtained in Photoshop Elements 4, it is close.
Yours Sincerely,

Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.

HELP snow leopard upgrade *MISSING PRINTER PROFILES*

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and since then I have not been able to use my normal printer profiles in Photoshop CS (don't laugh, I like CS).
I used to be able to select "Print with Preview" and then under 'Print Space:' then 'Profile' I could select either Epson Photo Paper Glossy or Epson Premium Luster. After the upgrade there are no Epson Profiles and only generic selections which cause prints to be way off colorwise and intensity.
Please help. Snow Leopard has been nothing but a huge headache ever since I upgraded.

You'll need to install the most recent print drivers. Are you in the US? Go to epson.com and make sure you install all the suggested Epson updates such as the Common Updates.

How do you use an outside Lab ICC Printer Profile in PSE 12?

I have an image that I scanned in from an old print then I edited it using PSE-12. Now that I've completed the editing and retouching I plan to have the image printed by an outside that has the ability to read ICC Printer Profiles designed for their printers embedded in the image. My proble is I don't know how to add a particular ICC Printer Profile to a image worked on in PSE-12. If I was using Lightroom or PS-CS5 or 6 there is a straight forward way to accomplish this goal.
Is there any way to accomplish the same objective when using PSE-12?

Thanks MichelBParis. I must be getting old (I'm 78) and I completely missed that when I was in Dry Creek Photo. In fact that is where I get all of my ICC Printer Profiles from when I'm using either Lightroom or Photoshop CS. What I'm doing is tutoring a friend on the use of PSE-12 (although I do own a copy for my own use) and I was trying to set him up to use ICC Printer Profiles and avoid letting the labs do "Automatic Color Adjust). I had many images ruined in the past just because the lab did an automatic color adjust until an operator schooled me on what was happening. I'm now a part time photographer and I never send an image to be printed without first making sure I have an applicable ICC Printer Profile embedded. and request the lab to turn off their automatic color adjustment.
Thanks again for the perfect solution.

Printer Profiles Not Visible in LR4 Mac

Hey guys, just checking to see if there is something I'm missing.
Short version: My printer profiles are not showing up in the "choose profile" dialog in LR4.
Long versioin: I'm trying to print an image from LR4 to my Xerox Phaser 8560 using a custom color profile I created with my ColorMunki. However the profile isn't showing up in the "choose profile" dialog box. There is also no apparent way to open a dialog box to search for the file. The profile is recently created. Works in Indesign CS4. It's located in the main Library/Colorsync/Profiles/ and my user (~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles/). It doesn't show up even when checking the "include display profiles" checkbox which is the only option available.
System: iMac 27" 3.4Ghz i7 16G Ram; Xerox Phaser 8560DN; LR 4.0
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Jason

You likely made a CMYK profile for the printer and LR doesn't support CMYK profiles. You'll have to remake the profile to be an RGB profile. ColorMunki can do that although it'll default to CMYK unless you override that...

[LR 5] Soft Proofing - Monitor Gamut Warning vary with printer profile ?!?!

Hi,
There's something I can't understand when using the soft proofing feature in LR.
The Monitor Gamut Warning feature (top left icon in the histogram when soft proofing is enabled) is supposed to show us what colors in the current image cannot be reproduced on the display. Right ? If I understand well, the warning computation is made by comparing the current image (virtualized by LR in the Melissa RGB color space) to the gamut of the display (read from the active calibration profile).
So why does LR show different "out of gamut" areas for the display when I change the printer profile selected when using soft proofing? This doesn't make sense to me.
Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance.

indeed they are vague about this. My thought about this comes from conversing with Adobe folks here and elsewhere as I am pretty sure I'vce discussed this on the forum before. As far as I know the monitor warning is supposed to be calculated after the conversion to the printer profile so that you get an idea whether the soft proofed color is accurately displayed. That shoud be the correct behavior as proofing can actually take a color either in or out of the monitor gamut. I am not 100% sure on this though but it certainly explains how it behaves.
Also if you calibrate your display and write out a icc v4 display profile, the situation changes again as now the display profile can actually contain a perceptual rendering intent, making it even less precise and the assumption of simple one-to-one linear conversions between color spaces is invalid. Few calibration software packages do this though but there are a few exceptions.
If you only want to know whether your image is outside of the display profile, you can indeed trick the soft proof to allow you to select a display profile as the printer proofing profile. You can in principle select a standard working space such as prophotoRGB there and get results that make sense. But you definitely do not want to have a random printer profile selected for the reasons cited above. I guess they could add some smartness to detect that you selected the profile of the current display and not a profile of another random display and then collapse the interface but that is such an edge case that I doubt Adobe would prioritize this. It works fine if you simply realize that you selected your monitor profile as the printer proof profile.

Epson 3800 printer profiles not showing up in Photoshop 3 and 5

When I try to print to my Epson PRO 3800, asking Photoshop to handle colors, this printer profiles are not available. I have this printer for years and have always used PS CS3 to print (and handle colors). Now I have PS CS5 but continue to use 3 for printing to the 3800, because the Epson profiles disppeared from CS5. Now they have disappeared from CS3 too. Any advices?
Thanks1

it might be helpful to include what os you are using (unless i missed it)

CANON PRO-1 PRINTER PROFILE ACCESS PROBLEM

I own a Canon pro-1 printer and I am trying to access my third party profiles from within the printer setup/printer profile window, but I am restricted to selecting from only the Canon's Pro-1 titled profiles for example, Canon pro-1 <FA> 2/3 fine art paper photo rag . All of my profiles are located in the same location, Windows/system 32/spool/driver/color. Where do I go to change my printer's settings so that I may access all of my printer icc profiles? I noticed that the Canon profiles have an .icm format, while my other profiles read .icc.
Thank you for your help.
Mark

All of your printer profiles must be in the folder that you specified. I just bought a Pro-1 printer and my printer profiles total seventeen for the Pro-1. Your Hahnemuhle or other paper mfr profiles must be in this same folder for windows to find them. If you think you are missing some, I would re-install the printer driver, which is where the software loads the icc profiles to begin with. You have to download other paper mfr profiles from their own sites for the Pro-1 model.

Windows Printer Profiles

Please can someone tell me if it's possible to save print profiles on printer drivers shared by SMB?
I have followed several posts/internet how-tos on setting up automatic download of printer drivers to Windows machines from our Xserve and it appears to be working fine.
We have an HP Color LaserJet 4700N using the latest driver from HP. We have set the driver to default to printing in grayscale to save color toner. Some documents we print need to be printed on a specific paper with color so I wanted to save a "Print Task Quick Sets" to allow the user to specify this without having to remember all the options. When I edit the server printer properties it appears to save the "Quick Sets" but after closing the dialog and re-opening, the "Quick Sets" are missing. Is this supposed to work with Samba sharing or am I expecting too much?
If it should be working, is there something I should check/do to fix it?
Thanks,
Richard.
