Printing in Photoshop and Pages sets "change" bit in document

Is there any way to defeat the "change bit" being set in documents after printing? Even if I don't make any changes, EACH time I print (even the same print params), the change bit gets set in Photoshop CS3 and Apple Pages, and then I have to save the document again, or close the window and decline to save changes. VERY obnoxious. PRINTING does NOT change documents!
These apps Do NOT set the change bit on printing:
Eudora
AppleWorks
GraphicConverter
TextWrangler
MS Excel 11.1
MS Word 11.1
TextEdit
Xbench
Photoshop CS3 and (Apple) Pages DO exhibit this obnoxious behaviour after EVERY print, even if there are no changes or other actions (except Save) between printings. Every print causes the document to be changed for some reason. These are the ONLY apps which behave this way...
(These are all the apps that I ever print from...)

If the idea is to remember the printing setup in the doc itself, okay, maybe. But they should CHECK to see if the print setup is the same as before and NOT set the Change Bit.
They should also give you the option NOT to save the print setup in the doc itself.
Personally, I think all that should be done in Page Setup, the way it's been for more than 20 years. That is an explicit command to tell the doc what its print params should be. That's where this belongs, NOT in the Print command.
99.99% of people only have one printer, so Page Setup should do it all.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document

When printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document, try this:
Use File > Print Book, set up your printer for Adobe PDF and 11x17 (or whatever your preferred page size is), and deselect Generate Acrobat Data. Turn on Registration marks if you like. Then, print, and the book should print, centered, on the larger page size.
Hope this helps somebody.

I found another discussion that provided a solution:

Thanks to Bob Harris and geagon.
Be sure to allow all software to be downloaded.
You have to locate the file where the prints are saved.
However you can put an alias up to it on your desktop.

Reader - Printing a Range of Pages to a New Adobe Document

I frequently receive multi page documents where I want to forward only a few pages of said document to an email contact. Is it possible to print a range of pages from an existing Adobe document to a new Adobe document using the free reader? I am on a PC with Adobe 8.1.2. OS is Windows Home edition XP SP2.
Is this feature available as an add on ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

With Adobe Acrobat it is possible to extract pages.

Strange difference in prints from Photoshop and InDesign

Hello,
Recently I upgraded to CS5 but at the same time upgraded my good old Power Mac G5 to a 27" iMac i7.
I also traded my Epson 7600 for an Epson 9800. So obviously many things changed at the same time.
Now I created a new profile for my printer paper and noticed the folowing strange thing:
When printing from photoshop the prints are consistently way too dark.
When printing from InDesign the same photo it is perfectly as it should be and looks on screen.
Then I checked printing from Preview and again way too dark, same as in Photoshop
I applied the same printerprofile to all printjobs
During the profiling I also printed the testpage from the Datacolor Spyder 3 software, which was perfect
printing the same testpage from Photoshop: way too dark.
I don't have a clue to where things are going wrong.
Is it a bug in Photoshop,but why then also in Preview?
is it the way the printerdriver handles things? But then why not in InDesign?
Anyone any ideas?
Regards,
Hans

Have you gone into the "Print Settings" dialog and turned off color matching in the Epson portion of the settings?
Are you running the most recent version of the driver? There is a combination updater to version 7.0 available as the first result at:

CS4 Photoshop and Snown Leopard 64 bit

Up to this time we had a cap of 4gb of ram we could use for Photoshop and other programs because of 32 bits. Now that Snow Leopard is coming out this Friday, will Photoshop CS4 on Macs be able to take advantage of the 64 bits AND take the 4gb cap off and allow us to use the availible ram we have? I run on a new Mac Pro 2.26Mhz 8 core processor with 12mbs of ram. What I've read is that this should speed up the whole work flow.

Adobe made the announcement that CS5 will be 64bit.
Here is why CS4 is not 64bit. Basically Apple changed the rules at the last minute.
From John Nacks Blog. 4-2-08
As we wrapped up Photoshop CS3, our plan was to ship 64-bit versions of the next version of Photoshop for both Mac and Windows. On the Mac Photoshop (like the rest of the Creative Suite, not to mention applications like Apple's Final Cut Pro and iTunes) relies on Apple's Carbon technology. Apple's OS team was busyenabling a 64-bit version of Carbon, a prerequisite for letting Carbon-based apps run 64-bit-native.
At the WWDC show last June, however, Adobe & other developers learned that Apple had decided to stop their Carbon 64 efforts. This means that 64-bit Mac apps need to be written to use Cocoa (as Lightroom is) instead of Carbon. This means that we'll need to rewrite large parts of Photoshop and its plug-ins (potentially affecting over a million lines of code) to move it from Carbon to Cocoa.
Now let me be very clear about something: It's entirely Apple's call about what's best for the Mac OS and how to spend their engineering cycles. Like any development team, they have finite resources & need to spend them judiciously. They've decided that Carbon 64 doesn't belong on their roadmap, and we respect their decision. It's up to Adobe to adapt to the new plan.
As soon as we got the news in June, we began adjusting our product development plans. No one has ever ported an application the size of Photoshop from Carbon to Cocoa (as I mentioned earlier, after 9 years as an Apple product Final Cut Pro remains Carbon-based), so we're dealing with unknown territory. We began training our engineers to rewrite code in Objective C (instead of C++), and they began prototyping select areas to get a better view of the overall effort.
In short, Adobe has been taking prompt, pragmatic steps to enable 64-bit Photoshop as quickly as possible on both Mac and Windows. It's a great feature, not a magic bullet, and we're delivering the functionality as quickly as each platform permits.

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

Is anyone making good prints using Photoshop and 10.6.4?

If you are making good photo quality prints, can you reply with your printer model and your Photoshop version? I'm especially interested in info on making good prints with an Epson printer, which I will be replacing if I can't resolve this.
Thanks!

I get beautiful prints from Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign on my ancient Canon i9900. I wouldn't own another brand of printer. I've never had a paper jam, never had a clogged print head, and never had a bad cartridge.

Page orientation changes within a document

The document that I wish to produce is made up of portrait and landscape orientations within the one document. How do I manage this?

Hi gordo,
In Pages, landscape/portrait orientation applies to the whole document. However, you can rotate individual pages in Preview.
See this discussion:
Re: rotate second page so will print as booklet

Hi, I am trying to print to an HP4050n via a secure wireless network. It prints but the default page setting sent to the printer is JIS B5. I have to hit the "Go" to get the printer to print. I have the correct setting in my Printer Settings (Letter).

I am attempting to print via a wireless (secure) network to an HP4050n printer. The document prints AFTER I choose "GO" on the printer. It is waiting as it wants me to load the JIS B5 paper/tray. I have the printer defined as Letter but in spite of that, it is requesting a different setting. I am thinking that because I am using the Generic PCL setting (I also tried the HP 4/5 PCL ) it is not communicating correctly. It does print once I get up and hit the GO button.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The paper size would normally be coming from the application rather than some setting in the driver. I've never seen the Generic PCL driver send a request for B5, but then I do use A4 rather than Letter and I don't have a PCL printer at home to check this. But I do think it has more to do with the application/document being printed.
For the application that you are using, is there are a separate Page Setup menu?
If the page and document is correctly set to Letter, you mention a wireless secure. If you mean something more than a wireless network that requires a password to access it, such as using https to connect to a remote server, then it could be settings for the shared printer queue. Although these shared printers are usually just an access point (throughport) for the remote client. Still, if you do have some additional network server for this secure wireless network, then this could be contributing to the incorrect paper size call.

Cannot print with a Samsung ML2160 printer (mono laser) and Pages. Print function doesn't work, only drag and drop in printer's queue

Hello,
I just purchased a Samsung ML2160 printer and it doesn't work with nor my Pages program, nor the Preview (to print PDF). No matter the way I tried, the Print function doesn't work and I cannot neither print or even enter the printer preferrences menu! My MacBook Pro has worked before with other printers, but now with the Samsung it doesn't work at all... Though, if I drag and drop a document, jpg, pdf in the printer queue, it prints just fine, but that method gives me absolutely no freedom to the printing... Could it be something from the Computer -> Machintosh HD -> Library -> Printers? Because a friend of mine was recently trying to save me some disk space, and therefore erasing part of the HP printer (to remove the previous printer I owned)...
If anyone has any idea, that would be much appreciated
Thank you in advance

Do the sensible thing, as you say neither Preview nor Pages print, try other programs eg TextEdit. If none of them print then it is a System problem and very likely the printer drivers are AWOL or were never installed.
Go to Samsung's website and download their software for the Mac:

Reason could be
a) print operation 2 might be maintianed for your message type . 2 means when PO changed ,it can also get printed.
solution:
Remove this indicator 2 for your message type. Then iyou cant output when you cahnge the PO.
menu path:
OLME -- >messages -- >output control -->message types -->Define message type PO -->Fine tuned control PO
hope it clear

I'm trying to print from Acrobat to my printer, but I can't make changes to the document size or anything!

I'm trying to print a set of plans onto 11x17 paper but I can't find anywhere to make formatting changes. Can anyone help?

Hi Paul,
What version of Acrobat and you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows?
What do you see in the Print dialog box? If you select Size under Page Size & Handling, the PDF should print at the same size as the page size in Acrobat (if your printer supports that page size).
You can also click Printer at the bottom of the Print dialog box to override Acrobat's print settings, and use the settings specific to your printer driver.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
