Printing from PSE8 Editor

Can anyone help me with a problem I have printing from PSE 8 Editor.
I keep my unedited photos in PSE8 Organiser. When I am trying to select the best photos from a group of, say, ten photos for printing I open all ten in PSE8 Editor. I now edit each photo in the Editor and examine them to see which are the best ones and I will wish to do a trial print of each of those. This is where I hit the problem.
If I select one of the ten photos open in Editor and try to print it I will get a strip down the left side of the Editor screen showing all ten photos. If I want to print just the selected one of the ten I have to remove the other nine from this list or all ten will be printed. If the photos are all very similar it is difficult to select visually which ones to remove from the list because the list does not show their names.
What I would like is to:
a) eliminate this list feature altogether so that only the photo I have as the selected image in Editor is printed, or
b) have the list show only those photos I have explicitly selected for printing from the ten I have open in the Editor, or
c) have the list show the file names so that I can at least identify the ones I don't want to print in this instance so that I can remove them from the list.
I explained all this previously to Adobe but I don't seem to be understood. To illustrate the issue please try this. Open ten similar photos in Editor. Select one of those ten and select print. You will get a strip showing all ten down the left of your screen. If you just continue with the printing all ten will be printed. To print just the one you want you will have to identify and remove the other nine photos from the list. Having done all that and printed that one photo now select another of the ten photos in Editor and again select print. You will again get a list of all ten photos open in the Editor and you will again have to identify and remove from the list the other nine. Repeat this for a few more photos and you will be (like me) screaming with fury at the stupid thing. So, am I doing something stupid or is there a way to get around this behaviour?

I have PEv.8, and below the work space in Editor, there is the project bin. On the left there is the tool box, configurable as one column or two columns.
Multiple open files are represented in the project bin as thumbnails. There are 2 dropdown boxes: (1) to show open files or files from organizer (2) re bin files. Which options are ticked on your machine?
Please post a print screen representing what you see.

Why can I not print from text editor?

I am new to the mac & was trying to do up a text document. I went to text editor thinking that would work. I did it up all nice & can not print it. I just goes all funny. I know it is not my printer; can print other things fine. Can you please help?

If preview looks fine, that does suggest - though it doesn't prove, I don't think - the printer might be mucking things up. Do you have the latest Epson drivers?

Printing from Editor in PSE 8 on Windows 7

When I try to print from the editor I get a message stating that I must install a printer first. My printers are installed. When I go to the organizer I can print without getting this message. How do I fix this problem?

On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
For windows, this seems to work:
Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

Borderless printing from PSE 7 Editor

Having some trouble printing borderless 4x6 images from the Editor in PSE 7, (I prefer printing from the Editor over the Organizer due to its higher quality output). I've tried a myriad of different settings from the Elements print dialogue window and am unable to consistently print images without some border being present, either just on one side, or on a top and side together. Sometimes I can successfully print without the borders, but then when using the same settings on another image, I'm frustrated to see some type of border return. The image in the print preview window will also vary from one image to the next, sometimes with borders, and sometimes without, however even when no borders are present in the preview, they'll still be there sometimes in the print. Never had a problem like this with Elements 4; using an Epson R1900, with printer driver set to borderless. If anyone else has encountered this, or has suggestions on what to do, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!
Ethan

Yes seems this is a bug. I will try using printing in PSE 8.0 when it will be released.

Color quality difference by printing from the Organizer vs the Editor

When a print the a photo from the Organizer I get a good quality print, one that closely represents the image on the computer screen. But when I print the identical print from the Editor mode, the colors are darker -- more black pigment in all of the colors and no where near as representitive of the image on the screen. How can I get the prints from the Editor mode to be more like the ones from the Organizer -- more like the images on the screen?......Jim

Organizer :
Image Space: sRGB IEC61933-2.1
Print Space : Same as Source (What is "Source"?)
This means that the Organizer is sending the photo to the printer without adjusting any of its colors (the default behavior).
Editor :
Color Handling : Printer Manages Color
Source Space : Same as in Organizer
Rendering Intent : Relative Colorimetric (What ever that is)
This means that the Editor is sending the photo to the printer without adjusting any of its colors. "Relative colorimetric" means that if there is a color in the photo that the printer isn't capable of printing, the printer will chose the nearest color. (This is the default behavior.)
So you've verified that the Organizer and Editor are using the default print settings. They have two different "print engines", but with a printer made in the last several years and photo in the sRGB color space, they would normally produce nearly identical results with these settings. What's your printer and how old is it?
My next suggestion is to download the most recent printer driver and install it (even if you already have the most recent one). This can reset the printer settings to their defaults.
If that doesn't work (and it likely won't), then you could consider configuring PSE to manage colors, rather than letting the printer manage colors. But getting that to work right often can involve a fair amount of effort, reading your printer's documentation to get the printer configured properly (it's different for each manufacturer and often for different models).

Printing quality differece between printing from Editor or from Organizer

I print a photo from the Organizer and get a very good match to the image on the screen. When I print the exact same photo from the Editor it is darker, more black pigment, not near as true to the screen as from the Organizer. How can I get a truer print from the Editor? Jim Rust

Printing Problems PSE8

Prints are horrible. Dark/colors are way off. I have tried every setting and combinations of settings in Pse 8...nothing works. I tried different print profiles on my computer, no improvement.
Using an IMac OS 10.6.2, Canon Pro 9000 and PSE 8 with Bridge CS4.
Within print, I am able to access the print dialog box where I am able to select the type of paper, source and quality (under Quality and Media). Under Color options I am able to select sample type (std., landscape, portrait etc.)...But the rest of the menu/screen is not available. i.e. the color mode section, and the brightness section.
If I use the software supplied by Canon, outside of PSE 8...."easy photo print" or "easy photo print ex" my prints are 1000% better. I have access to all of the print dialog sections. However, these programs "see" .jpg's...not .psd or .cr2 files.
I downloaded the free trial of Aperture, and the few files I imported print great. Nearly dead on with no adjustments. Access to all of the printer profiles (for specialty paper) access to all of the print dialog boxes/sections(Quality & Media as well as Color Options).
I like PSE 8 and would prefer to print through it, rather than open a secondary program for printing purposes. Nor do I want to "learn" and buy Aperture 3, since I am comfortable with PSE.
I Previously used PSE on a "windows" platform and never had any problems with my prints. I purchased PSE 8 when I bought the IMac.
Is there a fix/patch/download that will allow me to print using PSE 8?
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

I have some new information to share based on some help I received from a Datacolor technical engineer (makers of the Spyder3 color management system) that has resulted in prints that I would consider a very close match to the screen images in Photoshop Elements 8 Mac using Color Handling = Photoshop Elements Manages Colors and not Printer Manages Colors (although that option also yields good prints and was the only was I was able to get decent print prior to this info from Datacolor).
I'm using a Canon i9900, Snow Leopard, Spyder 3 Studio - my monitor is calibrated using the Spyder3Elite (I don't think this matters so long as you're using some kind of calibration). Also I'm using a custom profile I created using the Spyder3Print Studio for the type of paper I'm using. In all previous attempts using Color Handling = Photoshop Elements Manages Colors under PSE8 yielded photos that were very different from the colors I saw on screen and it appears that the 'fix' came down to the profile I created: specifically the settings I used in the Canon driver, for printing the color targets for the custom paper were not correct. After reprinting the targets using the suggestions the Datacolor rep suggested and re-measuring, re-creating the ICC profile for that paper, I was able to print from PSE8 with decent results employing the new profile. The tech mentioned that Canon drivers do not have an 'off' setting for color management, so when I printed the original targets, it was employing a profile already (when creating targets for measurement you cannot use a profile
These are the settings in PSE8 that I'm using that are specific to the equipment I've noted above (this may not apply to Epson drivers etc):
Under Print - More Options - Color Management:
- Color Management = Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
- Printer Profile = the profile that matches the paper/Media setting
- Rendering Intent = Saturation (recommended for the Spyder3Print system but your setting may vary)
Once you hit 'Print' then the dialog for the printer driver comes up:
- Under Color Matching - you should find that it's greyed out but preselected to 'Colorsync' (if you selected Color Management = Photoshop Elements Manages Colors in PSE 8 Color Management)
- Under Quality and Media - set the media type to be the same as that set for the creation of the ICC profile. In my case = Photo Paper Plus Glossy
I don't adjust any of the other printer settings.
The last part of this has to do with the ColorSync Utility.
Under Devices - Printers - Canon i9900 - I've set all the listed profiles Current Profiles = Set to Factory (the default)
For printing the profile targets, the Datacolor tech mentioned my original profile had a gamut that was way too small for the printer and paper combination I was using. This was likely due to the fact that I printed the targets with an active printer profile vs no profile. Since the current Canon drivers don't have an 'off' setting the tech suggested that within the Spyder3Print application, when printing the targets use the following (his own words follow):
" in the Color Matching pane:
Color Matching- ColorSync
ColorSync- Other Profiles
Other Profiles- Generic RGB
What Generic RGB does is act like a pass through so that the driver uses the Printer Profile you selected or no profile at all, like in the case of printing the measurement charts in Spyder3PrintSR. So with these settings the Canon driver essentially acts like color management is turned off."
If you have a Canon printer and you're creating your own profiles I would try the above to see if you get similar results. Let me know if you have any questions about what I've written.

Printing really small from text editor

I've got a few MS Word documents that I need to print on a regular basis. Some are printed as is, others are forms that I type a few extra lines into.
To save rebooting into XP, I thought I'd try opening and printing them from text editor. For some reason, documents that filled a full A4 page in Word get printed really small - I have to print them at 190% to fill the page. Any reason for this, and is it normal? Is printing at more than 100% the only fix?
The printer is a Samsung ML-1510 mono laser, using the latest drivers. I had the same "problem" printing from my Mini, running Tiger.

Select "Wrap to Page" instead of "Wrap to Window" in the Format menu. You can set that as default in the Preferences.

Only the first page is printed reduced as setup. All pages afterward are full size with information cut off. Recent problem. Can print from Safari just fine. How can I get all pages to be reduced size?

One suggestion worked from the Firefox prints incorrectly link mentioned above by mha007. I'm thrilled since this has been annoying me for weeks. Thanks mha007!
Reset all Firefox printer settings
# Open your profile folder:
# On the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
# Under the Application Basics section, click on Show in Finder. A window with your profile folder will open.
# Note: If you are unable to open or use Firefox, follow the instructions in Finding your profile without opening Firefox.
# On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Quit Firefox.
# In your profile folder, copy the prefs.js file to another folder to make a backup of it.
# Open the original prefs.js file in a text editor (such as TextEdit).
# Remove all lines in prefs.js that start with print. and save the file.
# If something goes wrong when you open Firefox, close it again and overwrite prefs.js with the backup you made.

I cannot print from iphoto and I desperately need to!

I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, connected directly to my macbook with a USB. Up until yesterday it worked perfectly fine.
Yesterday when I tried to print in iphoto, the printer status said "stopped". Even after I clicked "resume" it would still say "stopped.
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Epson support. I uninstalled my printer, reinstalled it, deleted the drivers, reinstalled the drivers, ran some kind of error check on my harddrive, just about everything imaginable. Then he spoke with a supervisor who said that they've heard of this problem before, and it is an iphoto issue, not an Epson issue.
He said that it could be avoided by clicking "customize" on the first print screen, and going through that step before printing. I tried that while I was on the phone with him and it worked.
Well, today I opened iphoto to print- followed his instructions- and I'm having the same problem. I am an artist and I sell art prints that I print on this printer-- I've already sold some that I need to print, but I can't! I don't have an alternate printer to use, since this is for wide-scale prints. I really need to print, and I have no clue what to do!!
It's been over 90 days since I purchased my macbook (I purchased in April) so I can't call tech support without purchasing some kind of extra support package? Help!!!!!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First, try the universal iApp fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and try again.
A modification on Dayla's workaround would be to do a print to PDF. That would set the page and image size you selected in iPhoto. Then Preview can print to the paper size you want and it should be almost as printing directly from iPhoto.
Do you have Photoshop? If so I suggest you print from it as you will have much more control over the color management that with iPhoto.

You can set up PS to be the editor of choice in iPhoto as follows:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

Any way to print from Finder?

Sorry about my last post...I really messed up!
Here I go again. Is there any way to print from the finder? I have a DVD inserted into my drive, and I want to print the contents to have as a reference. I tried to print the contents of the disk from Toast, but couldn't find out how there, either. Thanks for any help! Regina

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
quoted form of POSIX path of (selection as alias)
end tell
do shell script "ls -R " & the result
Select the DVD in the Finder, press the Run button from the Script Editor, and copy the text from the result pane into a place it can be printed.

Printing from Preview produces error message "The file couldn't be opened".

Hi,
Ever since the upgrade to OS X 10.8, I get the error message "The file couldn't be opened" each time I want to print from Preview. I just have to click "OK" and then everything prints fine, but if anyone knows how to get rid of this message, it would be even better!
I have run "Verify disk permissions" without success.
The system is on an SSD volume whereas my home volume is on an internal HD. But other users with (smaller) accounts residing on the system volume have the same problem.
Each time I open the print dialog, the following message appears in the logs:
com.apple.Preview.TrustedBookmarksService[2159]: Failure to de-serialize bookmark data file.
I removed files related to Preview in ~/Library/Preferences/
There is no *.plist file in ~/Library/Application Support/Preview
Thanks!

Pages 5.2 Mac OSX 10.9.2
Start Pages app
Create a blank document
File > Save or <Command>+S
Select Mac Device and find your user folder or favorite, Desktop (not iCloud)
Error: the file "Untitled.pages" couldn't be opened!?!
Repeat giving the document a different name and it works
Since when do we write error messages with "n't"?
Usually a well written error message offers a suggestion as to what you might do about it?
Since it says opened and I clicked on Save, there is a bug in there somewhere.
All I was trying to do today was copy and paste some text from a website into numbers spreadsheet
Both Edit > Paste options but the text in one cell so I tried to save it as a text file first to try and import the data
Text Edit does not have a text only export format so before loading Terminal and starting vi or emacs, I tried pages. I'll go try XCode's editor or my Windows 7 vm with notepad and openoffice
I miss the old Pages with the Appleworks importer, this one needs more Quality Assurance Testing IMHO

Prints from Aperture vs Photoshop Different

When I make a print from Aperture the color is off and the print is too light. When I take that same photo and Open With External Editor to Photoshop, the print comes out nearly perfect, and nearly exactly what I see on my 30" ACD.
When printing I turn off System Management of color, so I don't think that's the issue.
I shoot Raw with a Nikon D2x. I calibrated my Epson 4800 and 30" display with Eye-One. The profile of the photo is Adobe RGB 1998. When soft proofing in Aperture I use the printer profile I created with Eye-One and the image looks fine on my display.
I've read various threads where people have solved this problem by making sure they use Adobe RGB 1998 across the board, which I think I am doing.
One huge concern is that I'm ready to have a wedding book published via Apple and I don't know if the images are going to look like they do printed via Aperture, or Photoshop, or something altogether different.

David,
Thank you for enlightening me about the Nikon/color space.
What is frustrating is that I've calibrated my Epson 4800 and 30" ACD. In Aperture the color and exposure looks fine when soft proofing, but my prints come out with a magenta tinge and are too light. When printing the very same file in Photoshop (via Round Trip from Aperture), the image looks the same on my monitor as it did in Aperture but the print comes out very close to what I see on the screen. There has to be something else going on. I turn off the System Management of color, what other settings do you set? However, I set the printing settings the same for Aperture as for Photoshop.
Since you have much of the same set-up as I do, I'd like to turn to another question. I'm trying to order a wedding book via Apple. When I click the "Buy Now" button, all the following dialog boxes have a combination of French, English, Dutch? - and when I reach the final dialog box I see in English, "Please correct the following issues". The item on the list that I should correct is in Dutch or Swedish. Has this ever happened to you and how can I fix the language issue. I searched the threads and see people with the same problem, but no remedy.
Another question if I may... When I click "Buy Now" the first dialog box says that there is a blank text box (which I suspect is the issue that the Dutch sentence is proclaiming). I've tried finding the blank text box by Select All, but only the photo fields are highlighted. Do you know how to find a blank text box?
Thank you for your suggestions. I've asked about the foreign language and text box issues but haven't received an answer yet.

Issues with 64 bit win 7 clients printing from 2008 R2 print server

Hello All,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit server built with a print server role. My issue is 64 bit win 7 clients cannot add a new printer. The clients see the printer in the list, starts the printer installation, get to the point of downloading the
driver & then fails ' Windows cannot connect to the printer. ' the error is 0x0000012 or 0x000003ee. Any way I try to add the new printer I get the same result. The only way I can get the printer added is to do a local printer with the full path \\servername\printer_name
and then "have disk" and point to the driver folder on the print server to get the printer added.
Anyone have any thoughts on why the 64 bit clients will not add a new printer from a 64 bit print server ?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Please check if you can ping the print server successfully from this Windows 7 client computer. Did you encounter
the same issue when add other printers? Or just for this one printer?
Please type
regedit on Run to open Registry Editor and follow the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections and check if there has existent printer connection on the registry key.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Share a printer from my mac to Windows 7

I am using an HP Deskjet F735 printer that is connected to mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I would like my Windows 7 machine to be able to print from it.
I have set up all the necessary stuff: turning printer-sharing option on and all, but it seems that my Windows cannot connect to it.
How do I make it work?
I also tried to sync my workgroup name to be the exact same name to my windows machine, it detects it, and it asks for a password (when I "add a printer" on my Windows), but I don't know what kind of password that is. Can someone help me?
A step-by-step guide would be very helpful, thanks so much.

I finally got my new MBP (OS10.6) to print to my vista PC running Vista home edition. I need to credit Tom Nelson (about.com) for the below insight.
Once I did what he shows below I was able to add the MP250 Canon printer using the driver that was on the Mac. it did take a few minutes to search for printers then I had to use the advanced icon and add a windows printer using the smb syntax smb://pcname/printername.
